Omitted.
2. Applicable Scope
Copiers, printers, fax (facsimile machines), scanners and multifunctional devices
thereof
This product category is mainly intended for copiers, printers, fax (facsimile
machines), and scanners that are used in offices or at home, and multifunctional
devices having more than one of those functions.
For copiers, printers, fax (facsimile machines) and multifunctional devices,
equipment is covered that adopts any of such printing methods as
Electrophotographic, Ink Jet, High Performance IJ, Direct Thermal, Dye
Sublimation, Impact, Solid Ink or Thermal Transfer, and that is mainly used for
copying/printing on sheets whose size is A3+ or smaller.
For scanners, equipment to be used mainly for reading paper media smaller than
A3+ is covered.
Note that notwithstanding of the above, application of any equipment capable of
accommodating any paper size greater than A3+ shall also be acceptable, as far as
it meets all corresponding criteria items of this product category.
3. Terminology
■Product Types
Copier A product whose sole function is to produce paper duplicates
from paper originals. This definition is intended to cover
products that are marketed as copiers, and upgradeable digital
copiers (UDCs).
Printer A product whose primary function is to generate paper output
from electronic input. A printer is capable of receiving
information from single-user or networked computers, or other
155CrieriaV1
2/37
input devices (e.g., digital cameras). This definition is intended
to cover products that are marketed as printers, and printers
that can be field-upgraded to meet the definition of an MFD.
Facsimile (Fax)
Machine
A product whose primary functions are (1) to scan paper
originals for electronic transmission to remote units, and (2) to
receive electronic transmissions for conversion to paper output.
A fax machine may also be capable of producing paper
duplicates. Electronic transmission is primarily over a public
telephone system, but may also be via a computer network or the
Internet. This definition is intended to cover products that are
marketed as fax machines.
Scanner A product whose primary function is to convert paper originals
into electronic images that can be stored, edited, converted, or
transmitted, primarily in a personal computing environment.
This definition is intended to cover products that are marketed
as scanners.
Multifunctional
Device (MFD)
A product that performs two or more of the core functions of a
Copier, Printer, Fax Machine, or Scanner. An MFD may have a
physically integrated form factor, or it may consist of a
combination of functionally integrated components. MFD copy
functionality is considered to be distinct from single-sheet
convenience copying functionality sometimes offered by fax
machines. This definition is intended to cover products marketed
as MFDs, and “multi-function products” (MFPs).
■Marking Technologies
Electro-photogr
aphic (EP):
A marking technology characterized by the illumination of a
photoconductor in a pattern representing the desired output
image via a light source, development of the image with
particles of toner using the latent image on the photoconductor
to define the presence or absence of toner at a given location,
transfer of the toner to the final print media, and fusing to cause
the output to become durable. This definition includes Laser,
Light Emitting Diode (LED), and Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
illumination technologies.
Ink Jet (IJ) A marking technology characterized by the deposition of colorant
in small drops directly to the print media in a matrix manner.
For purposes of this specification, Color IJ products offer two or
more unique colorants at one time, while Monochrome IJ
products offer one colorant at a time. This definition includes
Piezo-electric (PE) IJ, IJ Sublimation, and Thermal IJ. This
definition does not include High Performance IJ.
High
Performance IJ
An IJ marking technology that includes nozzle arrays that span the
width of a page and/or the ability to dry ink on the print media via
supplemental media heating mechanisms. High-performance IJ
products are used in business applications usually served by
electro-photographic marking products.
Direct Thermal
(DT)
A marking technology characterized by the burning of dots onto
coated print media that is passed over a heated print head. DT
products do not use ribbons.
Dye A marking technology characterized by the deposition
155CrieriaV1
3/37
Sublimation
(DS)
(sublimation) of dye onto print media as energy is supplied to
heating elements.
Impact A marking technology characterized by the formation of the
desired output image by transferring colorant from a “ribbon” to
the print media via an impact process. This definition includes
Dot Formed Impact and Fully Formed Impact.
Solid Ink (SI) A marking technology characterized by ink that is solid at room
temperature and liquid when heated to the jetting temperature.
This definition includes both direct transfer and offset transfer
via an intermediate drum or belt.
Thermal
Transfer (TT)
A marking technology characterized by the deposition of small
drops of solid colorant (usually colored waxes) in a melted/fluid
state directly to print media in a matrix manner. TT is
distinguished from IJ in that the ink is solid at room
temperature and is made fluid by heat.
■General Requirements

Appendix 1 Product Design Check List
■Intention of Product Design Checklist
Equipment must be easily recyclable. The “Product Design Checklist” includes
indices for improving ease of recycling by reference to the Blue Angel RAL-UZ205 in
Germany. The indices are based on the following design concepts:
[Structural Design and Joining Techniques]
・ Non-use of any joint (e.g. glued or welded) that does not allow release of the joint
between different materials unless it is technically required
・ Use of easily detachable mechanical joints in equipment
・ Easy disassembly of equipment which can be carried out by hand or by machine
[Material Selection]
・ Casing parts: In order to limit the variety of materials, individual plastic casing
parts (>25g) have to consist of one single polymer or a polymer blend. All plastic
parts used in the plastic casings shall consist of up to four separable polymers or
polymer blends.
・ Large-sized plastic casing parts must be designed in a way that the contained
plastics can be reused for the production of high-quality durable products by
applying available re-cycling techniques.
・ The use of coatings for parts is to be reduced to a minimum. If applied, an
appropriate reason for this use is to be given. Galvanic coatings are not
permissible.
・ Devices shall use, or shall be permitted to use, recycled plastics.
[Utilization of used equipment]
・ Parts and materials that may contain any hazardous substances shall be easily
identifiable or removable (e.g., modules for colourants, mercury lamp for

Requirement Applicable scope Category Compliance Remarks
A: Design and Joining Technique
A1 Are assemblies made of
mutually incompatible
materials separable or
connected by separation
aids?
Casing parts,
chassis,
electric/electronic
assemblies,
modules for
colourants
M Yes/
No
Connections between casing and
chassis as well as between
chassis and electric/electronic
assemblies are important. Their
separability is a prerequisite for
separate reuse/recycling of
assemblies and materials and for
a quick and reliable separation of
components containing hazardous
substances. Glued nameplates
(i.e. company logos and stickers)
are also included. The term
“separation aids” refers to
predetermined breaking points,
for example.
A2 Are electric/electronic
assemblies easy to find and
remove?
Entire unit,
including lamps
M Yes/
No
The minimal strategy for
recycling is to remove hazardous
substances.
For example, electric/electronic
assemblies and components listed
in Annex VII of the revised
WEEE Directive (2012/19/EU
Directive), such as batteries and
condensers which have a risk of
containing constituents having
hazardous substances, as well as
fluorescent lamps containing
mercury, must be easy to find
and separate.
A3 Are connections that must
be detached easy to find?
Casing parts,
chassis, modules
for colourants
S Yes/
No
Connections that have to be
detached during disassembly
must be easy and quick to find. If
they are hidden, this should be
stated on the product (e.g. by
laser labeling or injection
moulding).
A4 Can disassembly be done
exclusively with
general-purpose tools?
Casing, chassis,
electric/electronic
assemblies
M Yes/
No
The term ‘general-purpose tools’
refers to widely used,
commercially available tools.
This requirement does not apply
to connections where legal
regulations have limited the
choice of joining technique.
A5 Has consideration been
given to the point of
application and the work
space required for
disassembly?
Casing parts,
chassis,
electric/electronic
assemblies
M Yes/
No
The point of application is where
the force of the tool is to be
transmitted to the connecting
element. Then, in order to enable
disassembly operation to be
performed with the tool, there
must be adequate work space.
This requirement especially
covers snap-on connections,
which, in contrast to the
assembly process, can often be
loosened with the tool.
A6 Are all connecting elements
that have to be
disassembled for recycling
axially accessible?
Casing parts,
chassis,
electric/electronic
assemblies S Yes/
No
If connections to be disassembled
are difficult to access or not
directly accessible, disassembly
requires extra man-hours. For
example, it takes time to release
screw connections if they can be
only accessible radially.
A7 Can screw connections for
fastening assemblies be
released with no more than
three tools?
Casing parts,
chassis,
electric/electronic
assemblies
M Yes/
No
Standardised and uniform
connecting elements facilitate
disassembly. The fewer tools
needed are, the simpler assembly
and disassembly are. A tool is
155CrieriaV1
30/37
characterised by its type of drive
(e.g. Phillips-head screwdriver)
and size of drive (wrench size).
A8 Are at least half of
connections that have to be
detached between plastic
parts click/snap-on
connections?
Casing parts
S Yes/
No
Based on the proportion of click
and snap-on connections,
determine whether joining
techniques have been selected by
considering ease of disassembly.
A9 Can the disassembly be
performed by one person?
Entire unit
M Yes/
No
If the undercut angle is more
than 90º, any number of snap-on
connections in the same joining
direction can be assembled
simultaneously, whereas this
may not hold for disassembly. It
is considered that this
requirement is not met if more
than three snap-on connections
have to be loosened at the same
time.
A10 Can the supporting surface
be maintained during the
entire disassembly process?
Unit to be handled
S Yes/
No
The ‘supporting surface’ refers to
the product surface for wrecking
workers to work on. This
requirement is to indirectly check
whether or not the unit has a
hierarchical structure. ‘The unit
to be handled’ refers to the unit
which exceeds 5 kg, or can be
turned over in case of less than
5kg. A11 Are casing parts free of
electric/electronic
assemblies?
Casing parts
M Yes/
No
To facilitate the clean and fast
removal and separation of
hazardous substances from the
electronic components, all
electric/electronic assemblies
must be fastened to the chassis.
The casing must not contain any
electric/electronic assemblies. A
control element fastened to the
casing and casing parts at the
same time fulfilling the function
of the chassis are not considered
as casing parts here.
A12 Has the manufacturer
carried out a trial
disassembly (e.g. in
accordance with A1 to A11)
and recorded it with a focus
on weak spots?
Entire unit
M Yes/
No
B: Selection and Marking of Materials
B1 If labels, etc. to be attached
to plastic casing parts are
difficult to separate, they
must be made of the same
material as the plastic
parts, or any material that
does not prevent recycling.
Casing parts of
25g or more
M Yes/
No
In order to recycle as
high-quality materials, labels,
etc. must be easily separable
from plastic parts to which they
are attached, or it is desirable
that they are made of same
materials (compatibilization).
B2 Is the variety of materials
used for plastic parts having
similar functions limited to
one kind?
Casing parts,
chassis, and
mechanical parts
of 25 g or more
M Yes/
No
For instance, "similar functions"
refer to functionality such as
“impact resistance” and “abrasion
resistance”.
The smaller the varieties of
materials are, the more efficient
the separation and recycling
processes are. This requirement
does not apply to parts that are
demonstrably reused.
155CrieriaV1
31/37
B3 Are parts made of the same
plastic material colored
uniformly or compatibly?
Casing parts,
modules for
colourants
S Yes/
No
Adoption of uniform colours for
parts made of the same plastic
material improves possibilities to
introduce material cycles for
recycling. ‘Compatible colouring’
refers to a same colour with
different degrees of brightness
(e.g. grey and anthracite). In
addition, if different types of
plastic materials have different
colours, this "colour code"
facilitates reliable type-specific
sorting of the plastic materials.
This requirement does not apply
to control elements on the
equipment.
B4 Has the coating of plastic
parts been limited to a
minimum?
Casing parts,
modules for
colourants
M Yes/
No
‘Coating’ refers to a layer of
coating material, vapor-deposited
layer, and print. Galvanic
coatings are not permissible.
Large-area coating layer,
vapour-deposited layer and print
on plastic parts require
additional treatment for removal
if the materials are to be recycled
subsequently. Reasons must be
given for coatings of special
parts. Laser markings are not
considered as prints referred to
herein. This requirement does
not apply to demonstrably reused
parts.
It is considered, however, that
the product conforms to this item
if the coating materials that do
not prevent recycling are used, or
coating works are conducted with
consideration for occupational
safety and health of coating
workers and reduction of
environmental burden.
“Coating materials that do not
prevent recycling” refers to the
coating materials that have
compatibility with materials of
parts to be coated, and do not
prevent high-level material
recycling (horizontal recycling for
in-house products).
‘Considerations for occupational
safety and health of coating
workers’ means that a coating
workshop is ventilated/vented
and workers wear protective gear.
‘Considerations for reduction of
environmental burden’ includes
the measures to control VOC
emission into the air, such as the
removal equipment, the devices
in coating process, or
replacement by low-VOC coating
materials.
B5 Are recyclable materials
and material composites
used?
Casing parts,
chassis, modules
for colourants
M Yes/
No
‘Recyclable material’ means that
recycled material identical to the
original material (recycling at the
original level) can be
manufactured.
This item asks the intention and
goals upon designing and does
155CrieriaV1
32/37
not ask whether recycling is
actually conducted.
B6 Is partial use of recycled
plastic material permitted?
Casing parts,
chassis, modules
for colourants
M Yes/
No
’Permitted’ means that a material
that meets the requirements
provided in the specifications
may be used if it is available.
‘Partial’ means some available
plastic components are
appropriate. (This does not
require all available
components.)
A closed cycle is realized only if
the manufacturer has already
used recycled materials, or if they
announce the commitment to do
so in the product specifications.
B7 Is the percentage of recycled
material to the total plastic
weight constantly 5% at a
minimum?
Casing parts,
casing parts of
modules for
colourants
S Yes/
No
‘Total plastic weight’ means the
total weight of all applicable
plastic parts. ‘Recycled material’
means recycled plastic pellets
themselves, and not plastic parts
that contain recycled plastics.
The source of recycled pellets
does not matter. In other words,
the recycled plastic does not have
to be recycled pellets obtained
from parts in used printers or
copiers; it may include recycled
plastic from other product
families on the market.
Using appropriate recycled
materials considerably
contributes to resource saving
and the use within the scope of
availability is strongly desirable.
B8 Are parts and materials
that fall under Appendix 1
of the EU WEEE Directive
easy to remove?
Entire unit
M Yes/
No
B9 selected according to B1 to
B6 and has this been
documented?

M Yes/
No
B10 Are plastic parts weighing
25 g or more and having a
flat surface larger than 200
mm2 marked in accordance
with ISO 11469, taking ISO
1043 into consideration?
Entire unit
(Plastic parts
contained in
reused complex
assemblies are not
included.)
M Yes/
No
The marking of plastics shall
enable all recycling companies to
sort plastics by type.
B11 Do secondary batteries have
identifications indicating a
type?
Internal battery
M
Yes/
No No
applicable
battery y
Secondary batteries need to be
identified in order to promote
collection and recycling thereof.
B12 Is the percentage of
post-consumer recycled
plastics used in entire
plastic (wt%) stated in the
product information or data
sheet, (indicated in
intervals of 0-1%, 1-5%,
5-10%, 10-15%, 15-20%, and
so on (in 5% intervals)?
All assemblies
M
Yes/
No
The following parts may be
excluded from the calculation of
the recyclate share: printed
circuit boards, cables, connectors,
electronic components, optical
components, electrostatic
discharge (ESD) components,
electromagnetic interference
(EMI) components, and biobased
plastic materials.
Stating in Form 3 and submitting
155CrieriaV1
33/37
it to Eco Mark Office is
acceptable.
C: Longevity
C1 Are at least 50% or more of
components of equipment,
excluding standard parts,
used as common parts to
other models of the same
generation and the same
performance category of the
same manufacturer?
Entire unit
M Yes/
No
C2 Is use of recycled assemblies
or parts scheduled or
permitted?
Entire unit
M Yes/
No
This means that the
manufacturer should be willing
to reuse assemblies and
components as spare parts or
ETN (Equivalent To New) parts
under his responsibility.
